unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in
order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the

certain periods of inactivity, in order to minimise
electricity consumption.
Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process
it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only
just begun: once the wash cycle has started, switch off the
machine by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/Reset button.
Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired
wash cycle and options.
Adding extra crockery

will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping
steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press
the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle will restart after
a prolonged beep is emitted.

At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a
power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at
which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or once
the electricity supply is restored.

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount
of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount
does not result in a more effective wash and increases
environmental pollution.
Only use detergent which has been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam
residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has
ended.
To achieve the best results from each washing
and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid
and salt should be used.
